The Dark Knight Rises Nolan...add Robin!!!!!!

[afan]

No. The problem with Robin is that he just dosen't work in a Batman film. He works very well in the comic books but he just dosen't work in the Batman films.

It worked in Temple of Doom.........that is if you can accept the comparison(Batman and Robin/ Indie and Short Round), which I believe is valid.

If Batman can work a teenger in a bird outfit can work. They just need to make moviegoers understand why bruce would endanger the life of a kid.

I had an idea about Robin that I think the audience would love, but comicheads would hate it.

Why can't some people seem to understand we want BATMAN's story, not that of Batman AND ROBIN ?

There is SOOOOOO much to do with Batman's character before any Robin should show up, so let's do that FIRST, shall we?

Hey thanks for speaking up for me.. no wait.. you mean YOU want Batmans story, believe it or not some people want both Batmans and Robins story.
If done correctly, Robin could be a very good move on Nolans part.

 

[Kebab gud]

like it was for Schumacher?

I agree, not I hate Robin I want Batman solo in Nolan's Films.

I could write a great Robin origin; something both faithful to the comics and yet serious and dramatic and respectful to Batman's character. I wrote a novel that features a sociopathic protagonist who does wind up, against his will, having to look after a kid, who has latched onto him to be the strong paternal role-model he lacks. It can be done. It can be done well. The kid can be used to give insight into the main character.

It really isn't that complicated.

yet you're not published...

 

[Triadkd]

I want robin and so do alot of other people. Using the S word as an excuse is stupid. Unless you like how batman,riddler,two face, freeze,ivy,bane,and batgirl were portrayed. It's all in the execution, the only question is if nolan can do it.

 

[COMPO]

In Nolan We Trust!

 

[COMPO]

hey, where was Bruce's parents killed in the film. Crime alley or in the heart of Gotham.

 

[Kebab gud]

Crime alley ..

 

[Triadkd]

We have his origin and he is commited. He told gordon he would never need a thank you and would always be around. So unless nolan pulls a complete singer on us and batmam leaves gotham because of some rumor he heard there's no more that needs to be said. So bring on robin.

Adding Robin would only add on to the story of Batman. In fact the only way to use Robin, IMO, is to make him a side character - not a main character. Keep the story about Batman, just have Robin included.

Robin does show the humanity in Bruce, taking him in as an orphan, it shows a compassionate side of him towards the fact that they are the same. I just don't think we are that far into Batman's story yet

 

[Abe Rush]

Would Robin fans be willing to exclude the "crimefighting" aspect of Robin out of the movie, in order to let's say... "favor" his addition to the movie? Because honestly, we don't see 13 yrs old kids kicking the rear ends of gangsters everyday.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

Yeah, I think if he where introduced in pt 3 as like a 15 year old kid, and then by like pt 4 (if it where to happen) Dick Grayson at lik 18 could join Batman

not saying it has to, I am just saying how it could go down

That could work, although i'd maybe subtract a year or two from both ends (adopted at 13, Robin at 16). I mean, Batman cant just take this kid in and the next day he's ready to kick ass on the streets. Batman needed years of training, Robin will need years of training. Also, this would allow Dick to be young at the time of his parents deaths, which is very important, and it would allow him to be older and more believable as a crimefighter when he actually dons the costume.

I think most people here can agree that the second film is too early for Robin. Batman's just starting out, it shouldn't be until his character takes a dark turn and starts losing his humanity that he needs Robin. He should also be much more experienced, as it'd be kinda lame if he ended up needing a partner after less than a year of being Batman.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

Yeah, I am not anti robin, I just do not see how in any way Bruce Wayne is ready to take in a kid, nor is there any need in the movie for a second hero.

 

[grimlock]

To be realistic if I remember correctly didnt they say they will develop a background for the Joker too?
How can we ignore Bruce,Batman,Alfred and Gordon if some fans want to include Robin and a young Selina Kyle.
It will be a copout on the important core characters,the plot and convoluted. We wont care about these characters if many of them start popping right and left.
There's also a possibility of Harley appearing so Im for no Robin and Selina Kyle.

 

[Saint]

You'd rather have Harley than Robin or Selina? You're demented. I'm sorry, but Robin and Selina are important characters.

If they are, they aren't Robin fans.

Let me make this perfectly clear: I'm just as happy NOT to have Robin in these movies. But it's not because I don't like him. I like him fine. I just prefer Batman solo.

That said, if Robin is going to be done, he ought to be done right, or not at all. So no, I would not think it prudent to give up the crimefighting aspect of Robin just to have him in the movie.

That'd be like making a Batman movie where Batman was dressed as an iguana and fought crime by shooting baseballs out of his sphincter at terminal velocity. Would you be willing to give up the things that make the character who he is, just to have him onscreen?

I'd have to say no.

 

[Kid.]

What about casting suggestions, if the character actually did make it into the movies?

 

[El Payaso]

Talking about casting Robin makes me feel like it's going to happen. *shudders*

 

[Katsuro]

It's too early. Anyone who'd wind up playing Robin by the time he's introduced would be far too young now, probably not even acting yet.
